So I've recently installed some new Bosch Aerotwin wipers thinking that they would be quiet, but boy was I wrong.

Here's a quick youtube video of the wipers in action. I'm not sure if its the wipers themselves that are defective, or if its something else.



Note that it doesn't seem to 'chatter' as such, there is just a noticeable click whenever it is about to swap direction

Has anyone experienced such an issue before? If so, how did you go about in resolving it?

Thanks.

I had the same problem. Reinstall them. Mine weren't fully seated in the connector and made the exact same sound. Make sure you hear the click when the wiper if fully connected to the wiper arm.

HTH!

I'll give that a go!
